Regressor’s Life After Retirement - Chapter 4

—————————————

[Contract Terms]

“Superman. “That’s a bit…”

The person who spoke with difficulty was a manager named Kim Gil-soo who first came to see me.

As I stared, he continued speaking confidently.

“Originally, the contents of the contract cannot be exposed to the outside world. “We will decide the order among ourselves, so why not talk to each of us individually?”

Other managers also nodded at those words.

It would be awkward to ask for a down payment in a place where there are competitors.

I completely understand your feelings.

That doesn’t mean I’ll do as I’m told, though.

“You said Royal Family Guild, right?”

Mr. Gilsu answered my question with a big smile.

“yes! Our Royal Family Guild is a prestigious guild with a tradition of 1 year and 6 months…” It is

also ridiculous to talk about tradition with only 1 year and 6 months. I interrupted him mid-sentence.

“goodbye.”

“yes?”

“I have no business going to that guild, so please go back.”

“Super Choin-nim….”

“Shall I let you go out?”

When I hardened my expression, Mr. Gilsu looked like he had chewed shit and got up from his seat.

“…If you act so arrogantly, you will regret it someday.”

-Quaang!

“Close the door gently and leave.”

I picked my ears and grumbled calmly.

Although I treated them coldly as an example, I had no intention of signing a contract with the Royal Family Guild from the beginning.

Because we already know that due to the guild master’s careless management, we will be merged with another guild within a few years.

“What do you want the others to do?”

Several people left one after another. All small and medium-sized guilds that were not confident in competing for down payments dropped out.

After filtering out, there are five remaining guilds.

I leisurely drank my coffee and looked at them.

“So how much will you give?”

“…….”

The value of one superhuman is at least billions to tens of billions or more.

That’s why guild managers try their best to close the contract, even if it means removing the liver and gallbladder.

They approach the just-awakened adepts, offer them all kinds of pleasures, treat them like kings, and tempt them with candy.

In the past, I fell for it too easily.

I thought that even if I joined the guild, they would treat me like a king, so I signed the contract without carefully reading the contents.

From then on, I became a slave rather than a superman.

Ah, now that I think about it, I didn’t come there.

The first guild I signed with in the past.

[Blackhound]

I was secretly looking forward to seeing you again.

“I will give you 1 billion as a down payment.”

As soon as one person spoke, the managers started suggesting prices one after another.

“Then we will give you 1.1 billion!”

“It can be up to 1.2 billion.”

“We are 1.25 billion!”

“1.3 billion! “I’ll have to talk to the representative, but with the skills the landlord has shown, it might be possible.”

“profit! Then we too…!”

Competition soon ignited, and my down payment continued to rise. I didn’t react in any way and just watched with my arms crossed.

Anyway, the price is higher than I thought.

This may be because he performed impressively on his debut stage.

“1.3 billion!”

He is young, has only been awakened for less than a day, and has even shown himself to be hunting monsters without fear.

“1.33 billion!”

The treatment was bound to be different from when I suddenly woke up after falling from a construction site.

For reference, my first down payment was 600 million won.

…Most of that money was squandered on alcohol and women. At that time, I had a lot of debt.

The auction was slowly coming to an end. The manager of the Warriors Guild, who looked like a gangster, stood up and shouted.

“1.5 billion! “I just got approval from the CEO!”

“That’s ridiculous….”

“1.5 billion won to a newbie? Just the down payment?”

When the Warriors Guild asked for 1.5 billion won, other managers could not raise the amount any further.

‘Warriors. ‘It’s not bad, though.’

When money didn’t work, other managers tried to placate me in other ways.

“Our down payment is 1.3 billion won, but we want you to be able to earn more through other options….” “You

need to look at the contract details, not just the down payment. “In the incentive category…”

Other managers have not yet given up on the possibility of recruiting me, but the Warriors’ guild manager smiled triumphantly as if he had already won.

That is, until she opened her mouth.

“I’ll bet 2 billion.”

“…….”

With that one word, the cafe became quiet. I looked at the person who said that.

It’s as hot as they say.

A woman appeared in front of me in a pure white limousine.

It was Baek Young-hee, the manager of the Whitehouse Guild.

“I will provide the best conditions for all other conditions as well. Base salary incentive loot commission. “You won’t be treated like this anywhere else.”

The expressions of the other managers darkened as they sensed defeat. She smiled confidently, as if she was confident of victory.

I also had the same thought.

“Everyone else, please go out. “Oh, just in case, please give me a business card.”

After a while, it was just the two of us left in the cafe.

Baek Young-hee has narrowed the physical distance between herself and me. She sat down next to me and spoke softly as if in a whisper.

“Do you have any more questions about the contract? Or… personal questions are fine too.”

Her hand subtly touched my thigh.

I don’t hate aggressive women, but this woman is a special exception.

The rumor must be so great. I remembered seeing several articles about superhuman scandals related to her.

I said, gently pushing her hand away from her thigh.

“Isn’t 2 billion won too high a down payment for a newbie?”

It costs a lot of money for a newly awakened adept.

Training costs, equipment manufacturing costs, and a high mortality rate of up to 50% within one year.

Therefore, the down payment for new beginners rarely exceeds 1 billion won. Instead, the ransom price skyrockets from the second contract.

“Why are you investing so much in me?”

She looked somewhat surprised by my calm demeanor and then smiled.

“Because I saw a video of you fighting a monster.”

It seemed like someone had filmed me fighting and sold it.

Well, that was part of my intention.

“Other managers must have seen that too.”

“that’s right. But I had one doubt. “How can someone who awakened today fight so skillfully?”

She came a little closer and sat next to me.

And then he pretended to smell my body.

“Don’t you somehow smell like a liar?”

“Honestly, I don’t wash often.”

I shrugged my shoulders and she chuckled. Our distance was so close that our breaths touched.

“So I did some background research. “Your family history, how you have lived so far, and whether you really woke up today.”

She was quite a meticulous woman. While others were focused on finding me, this woman searched for me and conducted a background investigation at the same time.

“So what is the conclusion?”

Baek Young-hee’s brow furrowed slightly. He looked like he didn’t want to admit that his prediction was wrong.

“Landlord. You were an ordinary person until you woke up today. “I was a quiet child even during my school days.”

Have you already researched my school days?

When I looked at her with a tired face, Baek Young-hee smiled like a fox.

“So I came to this conclusion. You are either a genius or, with awakening, you have gained a [personality] that is very advantageous in battle. “Am I right?”

It was quite a sharp guess.

Although it was all wrong.

I whispered softly in her ear as she looked at me with an expectant face.

“It’s a trade secret.”

The disappointed face was quite nice to see.

“…great. anyway.”

Baek Young-hee crossed her legs coquettishly. I must have been exercising regularly so my thighs were in good shape.

“Please know that we value your potential. “I want to raise you as the future of our guild.”

Baek Young-hee’s eyes were full of ambition as she said that.

Baek Young-hee, Whitehouse Guild’s general recruitment manager.

She was also the daughter of guild master Baek Chang-su.

“Thank you for your high opinion.”

Whitehouse Guild.

This was one of the best options.

It’s hard to say it’s the best right now, but it has the potential to grow into one of Korea’s top three guilds in 10 years.

There were a lot of super people who would later become quite successful, so it was good for building connections.

Baek Young-hee took out a contract from her bag and held it out.

“Read it slowly.”

As I read the contract, I felt that my fate had changed.

Contract terms and conditions are completely different from before.

A huge amount of money that you couldn’t even imagine, and a subtle flirtation from an eye-watering beauty.

Of course, I was able to remain calm about all of that.

“I’d like to add a few items to the contract.”

“Tell me.”

“I think it would be better to write it here rather than say it.”

I wrote down my demands on the back of the contract that Baek Young-hee handed me.

Her confident expression at first gradually became distorted.

“…Are you kidding me?”

“That can’t be right.”

Younghee Baek briefly summarized the requirements I had written with an expression of bewilderment.

“Go to work 4 days a week. Guaranteed to leave work on time. The right to veto long-term missions… If this isn’t a joke, what is?”

“I told you. “It’s my request.”

I was planning to retire in three years.

To make that a reality, we had to be quite busy moving forward.

It is true that a guild is needed right now for various reasons, such as a solid background, fixed income, loot processing, and tax management.

However, he couldn’t be tied down to just one guild.

So my first requirement was to secure as much personal time as possible.

“I will complete my duties reliably.”

Baek Young-hee’s expression turned cold.

“Do you think we will accept these conditions?”

I held in my hands the business cards that the managers had given me earlier and waved them left and right.

“Then let’s contact another guild. “Is it possible that there isn’t a single place that meets my conditions?”

Baek Young-hee laughed at my confident attitude.

“What do you believe in and why are you so confident?”

In times like this, it might be okay to go out unluckily.

“The only thing I believe in is ability.”

I thought it was quite possible that Whitehouse would renege on the contract. I think it was a bit of an unreasonable request.

Then, try some dealings and if you don’t like it, contact another guild.

But Baek Young-hee was hotter than I thought.

“…great. “I will persuade my father, or rather the guild master.”

“really?”

Baek Young-hee said with shining eyes. There was a kind of mischievousness in her eyes.

“I really wanted to hold you. So I’ll have to see how great his skills are.”

“You won’t be disappointed.”

We looked at each other and laughed. Baek Young-hee took the contract and got up.

“I’ll bring back the contract with additional requirements. “It won’t take a few days.”

“Then please call this number.”

Before leaving the cafe, Baek Young-hee winked at me.

“Next time, let’s have a drink instead of coffee.”

“well. “I’m a bit busy.”

Baek Young-hee made a dumbfounded look at my words, glared at me calmly, then turned and left the cafe.

I watched the limousine waiting in front of the cafe pick her up and disappear.

“It’s a monster. I almost fell over it.”

If I hadn’t known about those huge rumors, I would have definitely fallen for that woman and lied about liking her.

Queen ant Baek Young-hee.

Among those who were skilled at flying meat, there were more than one man who was captivated by that woman and signed a long-term contract.

“Let’s never get too involved.”

After making that promise, I drank the rest of my coffee in one go and got up.

It will take a few more days for the contract to be finalized.

There was a place I had to visit before that.
